First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A lithium iron complex oxide, wherein the lithium iron complex oxide is represented by Li 5 FeO 4 , two peaks with different quadrupole splitting values (QS) analyzed using 57 Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy are shown, one of the two peaks, a peak A, satisfies QS>0, and the other one of the two peaks, a peak B, satisfies QS=0. 2. The lithium iron complex oxide according to claim 1 , wherein the peak A and the peak B have an isomer shift value (IS) of 0.05 or more and 0.25 or less, respectively. 3. The lithium iron complex oxide according to claim 1 , wherein when an area value of the peak A is S A and an area value of the peak B is S B , 0.01≤S B /(S A +S B )≤0.50 is satisfied. 4. A cathode material containing the lithium iron complex oxide according to claim 1 . 5. A cathode material containing the lithium iron complex oxide according to claim 1 , and a coating layer which coats a surface of the lithium iron complex oxide, wherein the coating layer contains lithium silicate. 6. The cathode material according to claim 5 , wherein a mass ratio of the coating layer is 0.1% by mass or more and 3.0% by mass or less with respect to the entire cathode material. 7. A cathode material containing the lithium iron complex oxide according to claim 1 , and a coating layer which coats a surface of the lithium iron complex oxide, wherein the coating layer contains diamond-like carbon. 8. The cathode material according to claim 7 , wherein in Raman spectrum analysis of the coating layer, a spectrum of a G band of 1580 cm −1 and a spectrum of a D band of 1350 cm −1 partially overlap each other, and a G/D ratio, which is a ratio of peak intensities of the G band to the D band, is 1.5 or less. 9.
